Recent Galveston Robbery w/Assault Rifle
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4521468.html
Even in the "Wild West" that Houston-Galveston has become, this is sure making the news. When I went out this morning at 4am to a local drug store, I left the Mak behind and saddled up with the G19 AND 2 standard cap mags.
These small, convenience store crimes have been rising lately, although mainly in West/NorthWest Houston - now it seems like they are spreading south to the Galveston/Texas City area. They brough the heavy artillery as well
When I approach a small store/convenience store - hell, even a Wal-Mart or Kroeger late at night or early in the morning, I have to say my awareness level has gone up recently, checking out people in the parking lot or cars, entering the establishment slowly and always conscious of how quickly I could clear leather if need be.
But if I saw a couple of AK toting guys rushing out of store, I think I might hide behind my truck and they would have to be the first ones to start shooting.
What other situational awareness is prudent to exercise?
